Two Pantech devices sold by AT&T, Burst and Element, are getting their Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich updates. Unfortunately this isn’t the seamless over-the-air affair and you’ll rather have to download special software from Pantech’s website to proceed.

Both devices will be changed in a number of ways after the update, getting enhanced homescreen canvas switcher edit functionality, enhanced Multitasking and Notifications, improved User Interface, support for Face Unlock, improved text input and spell-checking, ability to control over Network data, better lock screen, improved Quick Settings and Detail Settings, and support for Native Sync of AT&T Address Book. In addition, the camera app now has self mode and panorama support, as well as Time-Lapse recording function in video camera.

The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
